Is This Love Or Is It Punishment ...

pyaar hai ya saza ai mere dil bataa 

Is this love or punishment, tell me my heart

toot ta kyon nahi dard ka silsila 

Why doesn't break this chain of pain

iss pyar mein ho kaise kaise imtehaan 

In love why are there such tests

yeh pyaar likhe kaisi kaisi daastan 

What stories does love write

ya rabba 

O my lord

dede koi jaan bhi agar 

Even if someone gives their life

dilbar pe ho na dilbar pe ho na koi asar 

Let no effect there be on the one I love

ya rabba dede koi jaan bhi agar dilbar pe ho na dilbar pe ho na koi asar pyaar hai ya saza ai mere dil bataa toot ta kyon nahi dard ka silsila kaisa hai safar wafa ki manzil ka 

How is this journey of faith

na hai koi hal dilon ki mushkil ka 

There is no solution to the problem of the hearts

dhadkan dhadkan bikhri ranjishen 

Heartbeat is steadfast

saanse saanse tooti bandishen 

Breathing is broken, uneasy

kahi to har lamha honton par faryaad hai 

Always on my lips there is a problem

kisi ki duniya chaahat mein barbaad hai 

Someone's (my) life is ruined in love

ya rabba dede koi jaan bhi agar dilbar pe ho na dilbar pe ho na koi asar ya rabba dede koi jaan bhi agar dilbar pe ho na dilbar pe ho na koi asar koi na sune sisakti aahon ko 

No one listens to my cries

koi na thaame tarapti baahon ko 

No one to hold my arms

aadhi aadhi poori khwaahishein 

Half fulfilled are my wishes

tooti footi sab farmaahishein 

All broken are my dreams

kahi shak hai kahi nafrat ke deewar hain 

If not mistrust then there are walls of hatred

kahi jeet mein bhi shaamil pal pal haar hai 

Even in victory there is the feeling of loss

ya rabba dede koi jaan bhi agar dilbar pe ho na dilbar pe ho na koi asar ya rabba dede koi jaan bhi agar dilbar pe ho na dilbar pe ho na koi asar pyaar hai ya saza ai mere dil bataa toot ta kyon nahi dard ka silsila na poochon dard bando se 

Do not ask to a person with pain

hasee kaisi khushi kaisi 

what is smile and what is happiness

museebat sar pe rehti hai 

Always a cloud over my head

kabhi kaisi kabhi kaisi 

Sometimes this, sometimes that

o rabba, rabba 

O lord
